Luxury Homes – What’s Trending Up & Down

11/13

Marble baths, oversized windows and wine rooms are some of the most in-vogue amenities in luxury homes, according to an analysis of listing descriptions by real-estate website Trulia.

High-end listings are more likely to reference oversized windows, floor-to-ceiling windows, ceiling windows and large windows compared with a year earlier. Panoramic views and ocean views are also trending upward, as are outdoor entertaining spaces, such as roof decks and terraces. “Recently, there’s been more of an emphasis overall on nature and natural materials. This trend in luxuries could be part of the same shift,” says Jed Kolko, chief economist and head of analytics at Trulia.
